One of the best RPGs of all time... GFX Hardware is still catching up to the image quality of this beast.
Morrowind is a deeply immersive RPG from bathesda software released in 2002. The game play is 1st or third person (I prefer the 1st person mode). What makes this game so great is the depth of the storyline(s) and the quality of the 3D models.
The sound is above average. Most of the game dialogue is in text format because of the sheer amount of dialogue involved, but all of the NPCs make some sort of audio comment when you get close to them.
Some of the game play can get repetitive (like killing cliff racers over and over again) and when you start the game you walk PAINFULLY slow even when your speed reaches level 100 you will still want to keep the auto run on. (defult key is CAPS LOCK). The games good points far outweigh the bad and this is definitely a game I would recommend to any RPG fan who hasn't already played it.
There are a few optimizers for the game morrwoind to take advantage of today's graphics cards as well as modify the view distance in real time to keep the game running at your desired FPS.
Heres a link to the optimizer I use.

There are also many wonderful modding communities out there for morrowind.
